CytoSelect™ 24-well Cell Haptotaxis Assay (8 µm), FN-coated, Colorimetric

Product Description

• Fully quantify haptotaxis with no manual cell counting
• Measure haptotaxis in less than 6 hours with most cell types
• Membrane inserts are precoated on the bottom with Fibronectin

Cell haptotaxis describes cell migration toward or along a gradient of chemoattractants or adhesion sites in the extracellular matrix.

The CytoSelect™ Cell Haptotaxis Assays are ideal for determining the migratory properties of cells. The 8 µm membrane pore size is ideal for epithelial cells and fibroblasts. The membrane serves as a barrier to distinguish between migratory and non-migratory cells.

Fig.1. CytoSelect™ 24-Well Cell Haptotaxis Assay. MDA-231 cells were seeded at 150,000 cells/well and allowed to migrate toward FBS for 4 hours. Migratory cells, on the bottom of the migration membrane, were stained according to the assay protocol.
